Step 1: Supplies

Step 2: Step 1 - Base

We used paper clips as a base for the Sugru, to keep the shape consistent while working it. It also makes the end product a little stiffer. Unfold them to make them straight, then mold them to the shape you want your wrap around ear pieces to be.

This is soooo cool! You could also do this with model magic which you can buy at Michael's. Another advantage to using model magic is that you can use a marker to color it and then knead it around in your hands to create a more solid color.

That is awesome! My favorite earbuds don't come in over the ear hook style & I hate it when I accidentally pull them out while doing other things. I also don't like to keep my earbuds all the way in my ears, even with smallest cushions my ears start hurting. So this sounds like a really good solution all around for me! Thanks!

they make these as a retail product. However, i commend you for adapting your existing earbuds for two reasons: one, you made it. two, if those earbuds have remote controls or microphones or whatever else, it is nice to be able to use them and have the earbuds still work for you.
